TE Connectivity Hand Crimping Tools 90871-1

The PRO-CRIMPER III Hand Crimping Tool Assembly 90871-1 is designed for crimping AMP contacts ranging from 20 AWG to 14 AWG. It features a tool frame with a stationary jaw and handle, a moving jaw, and an adjustable ratchet mechanism that ensures consistent crimping pressure. The die assembly includes both wire and insulation crimpers, as well as a locator assembly for precise positioning of contacts during crimping. This tool is suitable for low-volume applications and is intended for occasional use. It includes a crimp adjustment feature to ensure proper crimp height, and the tool's design allows for easy installation and removal of die sets. Regular maintenance is recommended to keep the tool and dies in optimal condition, and customer-replaceable parts are available for repair. Engineers should consider this tool for projects requiring reliable crimping of AMP contacts, particularly in environments where manual crimping is preferred.
